01 January 2012

It's the 1st of January and as is traditional in the City Daily Photo community, it's the day to show our favourite photo of the year. There were several I considered, but what I love to photograph most are people and life, so here is little Winona, fluffing her mother's skirt at the wedding of her aunt in the medieval village of Gorbio.

Thank you to everyone for your loyalty, for comments, for private emails, for your support and encouragement - all of which mean so much to me.

Wishing us all a 2012 that brings peace and perhaps a little common sense to our world.

Well this is a wonderful little moment captured. And speaking as a professional wedding photographer, I must say that this image is worthy of any wedding album! Congratulations on a great Photo of the Year! :)

What a precious moment you caught here. This is an image I won't soon forget. It works beautifully in monochrome and color but the pink dress just puts it over the top for me. I hope you capture many more wonderful images in 2012.

How perfect is this, for a great photograph anytime, anywhere as well as a theme choice for 2011? You post so many wonderful photo stories over the year, Jilly! Your theme image for the Monte Carlo site is exceptional too.

Oui, d'accord. I love this little girl as she reminded me so much of my own grand daughter when she was at that age.Bonne annee to you also and I enjoy so much to be able to follow your blog which is one way of keeping in touch with your side of the planet by seeing such wonderful photos that you post up.tres, tres magnifique.
